We interviewed Peter Sullivan of Clear Light Ventures about the role of EMFs in excitotoxicity, autism, seizures, PANS/PANDAS and other neurological disorders. Please note that you will be asked to provide your email address at the 30-minute mark to continue viewing the replay.

EMFs, Excitotoxicity, Glutamate, Autism and Seizures

In 2013, Martha Herbert PhD MD, et al, proposed that the physiological impacts of electromagnetic frequency and radiofrequency exposures (EMF/RFR) may contribute to symptoms of autism due to disruption of voltage-gated calcium channels. Concurrently, researcher Martin Pall PhD documented some of these effects.

By 2015, Dr. Pall asserted that the autism epidemic is caused by EMFs, acting via calcium channels and chemicals acting via NMDA-Rs. In plainer English, this means that EMFs can lead to excess levels of calcium in the brain. In turn, excess calcium raises levels of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate in the brain, which can lead to symptoms of autism. Excess glutamate can lead to brain-cell death, a condition dubbed excitotoxicity by Russell Blaylock MD.

In fact, some parents and researchers such as Katie Reid PhD have found that lowering levels of excess glutamate in the diet of children with autism can improve attention, focus, language and communication. Other parents and clinicians note that the low-glutamate diet can also improve symptoms of seizures, PANS/PANDAS and other neurological conditions.

In This Webinar

Peter Sullivan notes that autism symptoms can also be lessened by ameliorating EMF exposures. In this webinar, Peter helped us answer the following questions:

• What is a voltage-gated calcium channel?
• How do EMFs from cordless house phones, fluorescent lights, cell phones, baby monitors, Wi-Fi systems and smart meters contribute to symptoms of autism and other neurological conditions?
• Can electrical fields from large electric devices such as refrigerators also contribute to these symptoms?
• Do heavy metals in the brain and body contribute to increased EMF sensitivity?
• What are some ways to determine if a child is being negatively affected by EMFs?
• How can a parent mitigate their child’s exposure to EMFs?
• What is a “clean room”?

About Peter Sullivan

Over the last 10 years, Peter has funded efforts to reduce mercury and other toxic metals from the environment. He funded roughly half of the National Resources Defense Council’s’s mercury program, and in 2008, they successfully sued the EPA to close the cement industry’s exemption from the Clean Air Act. This victory resulted in an annual healthcare savings of approximately 6.7 billion dollars. Additionally, he funded the work of several non-profits working toward the UN’s international mercury treaty (The Minamata Convention on Mercury), which was signed in 2013.

In 2012, Peter’s company Clear Light Ventures collaborated with Enviu to develop the Toxic Metal Challenge, a contest to generate product and business concepts for widespread heavy metal testing. The contest drew 90 participants from 18 different countries.

His efforts are now focused on raising awareness about the known health effects of wireless radiation and EMF (electromagnetic fields), both of which are listed as group group 2B carcinogens by the World Health Organization.



Today Peter is one of the leading funders in the country in this area of research, funding work at Harvard, Stanford, University of California, Berkeley and several leading environmental health non-profits. He speaks about autism and environmental health at conferences throughout the United States and abroad. Previously, he was a software designer for Netflix, Inc., Interwoven, Inc., Excite@Home, and Silicon Graphics. Prior to working in high-tech, he was an Executive Officer and pilot in the United States Navy. He has a BA in psychology from University of Detroit and an MS in computer science from Stanford University. You can find out more about his work at ClearLightVentures.com
